You have just graduated from willful ignorance to outright stupidity.

You're trying to have people learn from you in an arena where ideas are discussed. You have to at least present why your ideas are plausible in order for any learning of any kind to take place. You can't be a hermit crab that recedes into its shell anytime anyone asks you why you think the way you do and expect there to be reasonable discussion.

You must have it confused with your own method of thinking. You come to a forum filled with skeptics saying you have come to a conclusion about the nature of the universe, and then run around like a chicken with its head cut off when people ask you how you got there. You shoulder a burden of proof and need evidence to have your assertions considered in a serious light.
I honestly can't tell you how much willful ignorance irks me. It's icing on the cake that you would shit on the very method that made it possible for you to actually convey your insane ideas to people all over the world instantly, not to mention enjoy a life expectancy twice as long as those who lived hundreds of years ago.
This actually reminds me of "Storm" by Tim Minchin. You're Storm.
